Upcoming workshops: September 11-13

A backcountry quest where riders follow a hand‑drawn treasure map through obstacles, clues, and forest missions — discovering partnership “treasures” along the way.

 

Legend of the Lost Trail Map

Long ago, a backcountry rider traveled through David Thompson Country mapping the hidden trails, natural obstacles, and “tests of partnership” he found along the way. The map was lost… until now.

Riders must follow the map, complete the challenges, and uncover the “treasures” of connection, clarity, and confidence.

What we do.

Participants receive a copy of an old treasure map on Day 1.
The map shows your ranch, the forest, and several mysterious marked locations.

Each location corresponds to:

  • an obstacle
  • a partnership exercise
  • a trail segment
  • or a “challenge” that unlocks the next clue

The whole clinic becomes a Western adventure story where the treasure isn’t gold — it’s partnership breakthroughs.

Day 1: Orientation, clarity and communication.
Day 2: Trust, pressure navigation, and real-world problem solving.
Day 3: Leadership, resilience, and partnership under challenge.

Get ready for an exciting and enriching experience that will transform your horsemanship skills!

Workshop Focal Points.

Forge a Trusted Leadership Connection with Your Horse!

  • Teach your horse to follow you under pressure, guiding their focus and preventing freeze, flee, or fight reactions.

  • Discover how horses think and react, so you can communicate in ways they naturally understand.

  • Build courage and pride in both you and your horse as you conquer challenges you never thought possible.

  • Learn how to consistently create success for both yourself and your horse.

Prerequisites.

There is no requirement to ride your your horse in this workshop - it's perfect for groundwork only or young colts if you like.  Tip - bring your hiking boots!

If you fall into one of the following categories, we recommend that you take the Progressive or Foundation Workshop prior to the Connected Workshop. This way we can better support support your individual requirements:

  • Have never ridden before
  • Have a horse that you're really struggling with
  • Getting back into horses after an extended absence
  • Want to work on confidence building after a mishap
  • Have a new horse that you want to dig into specifics
